also.. i'll reiterate a part of my anti-president rant..
***any*** 3rd party candidate is preferable to ***any*** duopoly president, just because it has the best potential to destabilize the 2 party system...
the main thing, right now.. trump or bernie (who though a democrat, will break the fucking party into fucking pieces since he is finally, finally so far left), is that one of the two is elected..
that is where the real race is.
if we had none of this caucus shit, but just straight state by state democratic elections, all comers allowed, the coalitions would be far, far, far more fluid, rather than this race, which is not an active distillation of candidates from those preferred.
you know what we ought to do?
limit the contributions of *every* individual to $1.. to as many candidates as they like... but the contribution of individual canvassing time?
that would be unlimited...
now surely the evil greedy fuckheads would find a way to circumvent this, which bring us to *another* issue..
reform of the fucking courts..
which is why i say "fuck it.. you want to be fucking chief? you do hand to hand fucking combat, one on one, with no more than your dry skin & what you find on the ground at a random fucking location".
but.. since the shit who want power don't have the balls for that, the next best thing is a race between bernie & trump.
anyways.. generally speaking, a straight election would strip the parties of the insulation they have established by restricting potential candidates of threat from entering the ballot, so the best we can realistically ask for is *not* a race between the best *qualified* candidates, but the ones that carry the most potential to upset (or hopefully destroy) the current political selection process, ***regardless*** of how fit they are to *actually* serve...
